We have to be careful, otherwise the political police will grass on us.

You're books aren't squeaky clean!
You surprise me...

I got some good feedback from my last effort at making Barm Braic. The previous one where I soaked the fruit in freshly brewed coffee and a generous glug of 10 year old Islay malt had a mixed reception. The peaty smell persisted after the baking and you could certainly taste the smokiness. I quite liked it but others found it a bit too much. With my latest effort I steeped the fruit in a mix of camomile tea, and De Kuyper cherry brandy liqueur for 48 hours, and added several Glacé cherries some chopped, some whole to the final mix.

You cooked with a 10 year malt??????? 😲😲😲

This is almost a crime.........

I hate it when things like that happen, you may not know, but housing benefit is going over to universal credit from now until 2026
you can bet your bottom dollar we will be sold short.

Thanks. I didn't know this. I must investigate as my son doesn't use Universal Credit. From what I gather the process is a nightmare.......not unlike many other benefits processes.

Morning all, I have woken up in Lincolnshire which means that I have few dents to play with today, living life to the full and enjoying it.

Good morning all fellow retirees.

I managed to not say that but tbh It really shocked me

Morning all.
Don't think it's raining but it's light enough to tell.
Horrible day ahead for me as I start the series of treatments on my teeth. Operations is too strong a word but he is going to grind all my top teeth down to the gum, prior to having a palet fitted.
To say I am not looking to it is an understatement
